Situated on low hillock with Tully House 160m to E and St. Bridget's Well (KD022-035----) 140m to SSE. The graveyard is now adjacent to the National Stud of Ireland and present remains consist of a sub-rectangular shaped area (approx. dims. 67m N-S; 52m E-W) enclosed by a 19th century stone wall entered through a gate with adjacent stone stile and coffin stand in centre of W wall. The church ruins belonging to the Preceptory of the Knight’s Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem (KD022-034----) stands on the highest point in the centre of the graveyard. In 1298 there was a court case regarding a murder which took place within the cemetery of Tully. In this year 'Roger de Galewey, who says that he was provost of Toli [Tully], and the felon committed the homicide within the cemetery, and therefore was taken from the church [KD022-034----] and put in the stocks in the house of the Master' (Cal. justic. rolls, Ire. Edw. I, 203). The graveyard contains pots-medieval grave markers, although several graves are marked by medieval chamfered window jambs recycled from the church ruins. Numerous burials are located inside the church ruins. A sheela-na-gig (KD022-034002-) was recently recorded in the W quadrant of the graveyard.

Sheela-na-gig in Tully EastSheela-na-gig · 23 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Tully East is a carved figure on a sandstone block that shows everything without apology. The whole parish probably argued about whether she was a saint or a scandal. Go in good boots and better humour.

Irish National Stud and Japanese GardensHeritage attraction · 178 ydJapanese GardensHeritage attraction · 191 ydBee-bee tree195 yd

Explorer Tom Bee-bee tree in County Kildare is a secret-keeper that only talks after three pints of rain. It’s got a story about being fancy that it won’t share. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Dawn Redwood202 yd

Explorer Tom Dawn Redwood in County Kildare claims it's taller than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which is laughable. It just needs a hat to make you believe it. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Children's playground241 ydComputer-made pictureArchitectural fragment in Brallistown CommonsArchitectural fragment · 406 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Architectural fragment in Brallistown Commons is basically a stone bench that thinks it's a throne. A local dog patrols it daily, barking at anyone who dares sit down properly. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

Holy well in Brallistown CommonsHoly well · 433 yd

Explorer Tom Holy well in Brallistown Commons has so many names you'd need a spreadsheet just to remember them. It's sitting in a boggy patch, judging your footwear with intense spiritual disappointment. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.

Sitka Spruce436 yd

Explorer Tom A Sitka Spruce in Kildare, which is like a penguin turning up at a barbecue. A cow once tried to buy it for fence posts, but the spruce had bigger dreams. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.

Habitation site in Tully EastHabitation site · 790 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Habitation site in Tully East is where the Vikings got lost looking for it. They dug seventy metres of pits and found nothing but random holes. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

The National StudDemesne walls/gates/railings · 1054 yd

Explorer Tom The National Stud gateway in Kildare is fancy ironwork that thinks it’s better than Buckingham Palace. It’s got a rivalry with the horse inside that nobody talks about because they’re both too proud. Pop by and tell it it’s looking very well-maintained today.

The NookOfficer's house · 1096 yd

Explorer Tom The Nook makes a creaking sound at night that sounds exactly like a sigh. It’s been an officer’s house and still acts like it has authority. Have a wander and a wonder around the quiet corners.
